Reintroducing a hen - obstacles so far

[RoseCassFarm]

My only concern today is that it's pouring out and she's apparently been forced away from shelter because she looks like a drowned rat. Theyre always out in the rain and she's usually a bit damp but this time she's sopping wet I realize that chickens get rained on and its 40 out today so that's not bad but I worry about tonight. Arg, the drama.

Okay now I've come to the conclusion that she's looking for me, lol. I brought her in, dried her off, and went out to create an extra shelter. Put her in there and what did she do? Walk back out and stand near me in the rain. I moved to the other side of the run and she followed. I had to crawl under the coop for her to seek shelter...only for her to walk back out into the rain again trying to follow me.

They're creatures of habit, big time. She just needs to get back in the habit of being outside and using the coop/roost again.
